honestly I think u may be in for a long game of this sucks lol...

I have a good feeling there is frame damage and it is only worth doing if u have some sentimental ties to it.. I could care less about the trim etc.. I have a base 86' and I love the car.. however looking at yours if mine was like that I am not 100% sure I would fix it.. maybe and maybe not

Use some expandable foam to fill the voids, shape it, and bondo it.

Looks like crap.. Not worth fixing... Even if you did fix it, you will hate yourself when you replace tires every 2000miles.. Pull the engine, throw it in another car...

Not worth the effort.

I'd say part it out... Cut your losses and find yourself another car... Often it'll never be the same again after a hit like that.

I agree with everyone else because the inner body is completly screwed up. Its not an issue where you can just bolt new items on. Its cutting and welding in new sections to the inner body.

theres frame damage. you can tell. look at how close the damage is to the wheel...


ANYTHING is fixable... worse comes to worse you can cut the front of another fc off, and put it on your car.

Is it worth it. no. repairs from a cheaper shop would be 2000 to 4000 for that price you can get a much better FC, or just get a shell and swap everything over, that'd be a fun project!
